Armed Forces / Uniform Identification Help
« on: Wednesday 16 November 11 20:48 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone please identify the uniforms on the left and centre of this photograph ?

It was taken at the Remembrance Day Parade at Tripoli War Cemetery in 1961.  On parade were the RAF and the Scots Guards.  There were also representatives of the British Embassy.  Are the uniforms Embassy related?

Thank you

Northumberland / Newburn Baptisms Register
« on: Monday 15 August 11 16:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Does anyone have access to the above Register ?

I have a Jane Arthur born on 23 June 1808 and baptised on 8 January 1809, parents John Arthur and Mary Birkley.  This is from the familysearch site but she does not appear in the Bishop's Transcripts

I then have Margaret Arthur born on 6 November 1808 and baptised on 5 February 1809, 4th daughter of John Arthur and Mary Birkley.  This is from the BTs

It is very unlikely that John and Mary had two daughters born four months apart and baptised four weeks apart

I know that daughters 2 and 3 were Mary Ann and Isabella and I believe their first daughter was Esther, baptised on 1 June 1802.  Esther's baptism was given to me by a late relative but the BTs don't show any baptisms on that date

If I can get this sorted, I can cancel my placement in the Home for the Terminally Bewildered

Thank you

John

Somerset / Charles BABER - Compton Martin
« on: Monday 25 April 11 19:53 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Does anyone have access to the Compton Martin Baptism Register ?

Whilst helping a friend a while ago, I found Charles Baber baptised on 3 November 1822, parents Richard and Maria.  Unfortunately, I didn't make a note of the website on which I found it and have since been unable to find it again

I've now found the same Charles on an Ancestry family tree which gives his date of birth/baptism as 3 November 1830

Can anyone tell me which date is correct ?

Thank you

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Harold Thomas Harber COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 06 February 10 14:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Harold Thomas Harber married Leonora Rose Roots at Trottiscliffe in the September quarter of 1906

I'm trying to find out who his father was.  I know it would be on the marriage certificate but before I fork out £7, I wondered if someone might have access to the Trottiscliffe Registers

Durham / COMPLETED Onions family of Gateshead
« on: Friday 14 August 09 20:50 BST (UK)  »
Is anyone researching the above family?

I have no connection to the family but I have in my possesion a slim exercise book on the cover of which is written "THOMAS ONIONS.  FAMILY TREE OR MY ANCESTORS OR PEDIGREE"

According to the contents, the above Thomas was born 17 April 1851 and he married Jane Ann Hare Lister (born 1 May 1852)

Other surnames mentioned include Unitt or Unett, Copeland, and Abell

The pages haven't scanned very well but I'll forward transcripts to anyone interested

Help please

Looking for the birth/baptism of Elizabeth Stoneham born c.1845 in Maidstone

When married to Henry Harber at Maidstone in December 1869 she gave her father's name as James and his occupation as Gardener
